12 April is one of the most significant days in space exploration.
On this day in 1961, our compatriot, Soviet pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin made the first flight into space in history, launching the process of practical conquest of outer space. A new era of the space age had begun!
The launch of the Vostok spacecraft is one of the greatest events not only of the 20th century, but of the entire human civilisation. The breakthrough into space is the result of colossal efforts of many Soviet specialists and scientists.
It is a symbol of personal courage and aspiration to learn new facets! We are proud that it was our country that paved the way to the Universe!
We congratulate all cosmonauts, workers of the rocket and space industry, designers, engineers, scientists, whose work is connected with the study of space. We wish health, happiness and new achievements for the glory of national cosmonautics!
